Well, I got to put some of these up from time to time. Feel free to request certain NPCs if you want. I'm really just making them for my own adventures. If there's a * next to the NPC name though, I plan on using it in a written adventure so I ask that you please don't use them for your own published adventures, but feel free to use them for your own PbP or homebrew campaigns.

When Requesting try and use the following simple format:

- Name (if specified)
- Race, Class, Archetype
- Specific Features Wanted

I would like to see NPCs without PC classes for a change. Looking at the NPCs in the Game Mastery Guide I noticed that at least half of the NPCs have PC classes.

That doesn't make me feel all too special when the barmaid is a Rogue, the bartender is a Fighter and the Farmer a Druid... PCs are supposed to be a rare breed, but most of the time they are just another face in the crowd when you get down to it.

@Krome, I'll see to making some generic NPCs but which NPC class were you looking for and what levels?

@NecromanticNate, I'll take 1 request per person for now, even if I'm not too busy. Went with the Sepulchral Knight. He's CR 13 as we went with PC gear to represent his boss status. Also, I think you meant Graveknight and not Graveguard as I couldn't find that name.

Going to work on this though I believe we'll need to stray from the RAW a bit as the cavalier/paladin would technically have two mounts. I'll combine the mount and divine bond but I don't think it would work officially like that. But hey, whatever. Give me an hour or so.

@Arcanemuses: He's done. I left out the mount as it's just the heavy or light horse with the companion features. As for gear, you didn't specify so I'll leave that up to you. You may also switch out the Weapon Focus (lance) if you're not using one.

Do you prefer many monsters a la Master Summoner or two Eidolons a la Broodmaster?


Broodmaster I think Two Eidolons would mack nice final fight for the players.

THank you very much! Looks good!


Will you use 3.5 material? I have a cool idea for "thri-kreen" NPC... a bit of expository info if you don't mind:

He was actually some other kind of humanoid, maybe an elf, and a prince but some weird magical implosion caused lots of weird mutations (hence the thri-kreen as the race). His primary tactic is to spring attack/jump into combat and dash away before making another pass. His favorite things to kill are hideous creatures, like aberrations, undead, etc, though he thinks himself a monster now as well. His personal Batman-like crusade against the creatures of his one beautiful homeland is futile, but cathartic.

Class levels and character level don't matter much. I can never settle on any builds.

I haven't looked through 3.5 in a long time. Are you asking for a 3.5 NPC or just using the thri-kreen in PF? If yes, I would need a more detailed build, as in classes for me to make him.


Just a thri-kreen in PF.

I always pegged him for a ranger, but ninja or monk might work better. Actually, I would say a monk/ninja multiclass would be perfect.

I picture him having epic leaps into combat based on the thri-kreen racial bonus to jump, not that there's any real mechanical benefit to it.

The Eidolons were not given any equipment as I believe the Summoner herself must buy it for them. If you're missing a bit on gold pieces, give her wealth equal to a PC of her level. It ups her CR by 1 but you'll have more to play with.

Thanks for putting these guys up. In fact, anyone can put up NPCs they've made I guess. Could you just put them in Spoilers next time to save space?

Aside from that, while I personally don't use HeroLab by principle, I love the idea of using NPC classes to represent more common folk.

That is an error on my part, she originally just had the quarterstaff as a placement item. I removed it from her gear but forgot to remove it from her melee slot. She should have no armor or weapon purchased as of writing.

As I work by hand, and not using HeroLab, it is entirely possible that some errors may pop up in some calculations. I try and do NPCs level by level to make sure that nothing is missed and then recalculate everything to double check but sometimes I may miss things.

Still working on your Thri-Kreen, any archetype preferences? He's just basic monk/ninja for now.

When a cutpurse makes a Sleight of Hand check to take something from a creature, the target makes its Perception check before the rogue makes her Sleight of Hand check, and the rogue knows the Perception check result. She can decide whether or not to make the check based on the results of the target’s Perception check. If the rogue elects not to make the check, she can make a Bluff check, opposed by the target’s Sense Motive, to prevent the target from noticing the attempt. This ability replaces trapfinding.

    He would have henchmen, but I would be concerned about a possible TPK if he has too much back-up. Hopefully, most of his followers would have been whiped out before the PCs confront him.

    Alright, so for level 3 PCs, are we aiming for a Lv4 with more backup or lv5 with minimum backup?

    Well, he is already CR4 just for being a "free" vampire spawn. And, he needs at least one level of "something" to have some individualization. So, his encounter should have minimal backup if any.

    Total Encounter should be about CR6. So he should be about CR5.

    Just a thri-kreen in PF.

    I always pegged him for a ranger, but ninja or monk might work better. Actually, I would say a monk/ninja multiclass would be perfect.

    I picture him having epic leaps into combat based on the thri-kreen racial bonus to jump, not that there's any real mechanical benefit to it.

    Still working on your Thri-Kreen, any archetype preferences? He's just basic monk/ninja for now.

    As well, what CR do you want?

    No archetypes come to mind. CR 10 or 11 should suffice. Thanks! :D

    @Foghammer: Alright, going for CR 10 for ninja 5/monk 5.

    Balance isn't an issue for me, since it's an NPC. He's not something that I intend for my players to fight.

    But they could very easily wind up doing so, in which case, they can handle the CR quite well.
